Filling Your Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel re can
cause bad injuries. To help avoid injuries to
you and others, read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. Turn off your
engine when you are refueling. Do not smoke
if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, ames and smoking materials
away from fuel. Do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle — this
is against the law in some places. Keep
children away from the fuel pump; never let
children pump fuel.
The fuel cap is located behind a hinged door on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). It will require more effort to turn the
fuel cap on the last turn as you loosen it.Before refueling, slide the edge of the fuel cap onto the
ller door hook.
5-8

The cap will hang on the hook during refueling.
{CAUTION:
If a re starts while you are refueling, do not
remove the nozzle. Shut off the ow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by notifying the
station attendant. Leave the area immediately.Be careful not to spill fuel. Do not top off or overll your
tank and wait a few seconds after you have nished
pumping before you remove the nozzle. Clean any spilled
fuel from painted surfaces as soon as possible. See
Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-108.
When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. It will require
more effort to turn the fuel cap on the last turn as you
tighten it. Make sure you fully install the cap. The
diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. This would allow fuel
to evaporate into the atmosphere. SeeMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 3-45.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get the
right type. Your dealer can get one for you. If you get
the wrong type, it may not t properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light and
may damage your fuel tank and emissions system.
SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-45.

when the cooling system, including the coolant

no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise (left) about one full turn. If you
hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means there
is still some pressure left.2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and
